We have one Crow. Hopefully, he'll be a helpful hire. His coaching will have a lot to do with Chop and Mo's progress.
Custer had quite a few Crows in the 7th. They were glad to scout for him because they hated the Sioux for stealing their land.
They warned him about attacking that village, but the frigging egomaniac didn't listen.
Half Yellow Face is often remembered by historians, for a poetic and prophetic statement that he made to Custer on the morning of 25 June 1876, after Custer had announced his decision to attack the as yet un-assessed Sioux-Cheyenne encampment. Another Crow Scout, White Man Runs Him recalled that after Custer had heard the warnings of the Crow scouts about the large size of the encampment, but disregarded these concerns, Half Yellow Face then said to Custer (speaking through the interpreter/scout Mitch Boyer), "You and I are both going home tonight by a road we do not know."
BTW, I think ducks are awesome. What makes them lame to you? I had two pet ducks when I was a kid. Peeper was the first one. My dad accidentally backed over him with the car. The second was Owen. We turned him loose when he was almost full-grown with some half-wild ducks that lived near my uncle and aunt's house.
